After attending a how to refresher course on successful delegation, which statement indicates successful learning has taken place?

1. I never knew I could actually benefit myself, the delegate, and the organization by taking a few minutes
to thoughtfully delegate tasks to others.
2. Delegation has no benefit on our unit since our clients are so frequently admitted and discharged.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Delegation does save time if done effectively, which benefits all levels of the organization. All
units have time to delegate because delegators explain the task specifics, and then can move on
to the next priority task. The delegate not only needs to know what to do, and when it needs to
be completed, but also needs to know why the delegator needs the delegate to do it.
